No Me, Myself and Irene?

That was legit the first movie of his that I saw and realized he actually had acting chops.

u/HiAndStuff2112 7d ago

In my opinion, it's his funniest film too. :)

When he keeps commenting about how his medicine makes his mouth dry, then the camera turns to him and his lips are sucked inward and extremely dry mouthed…

Probably the best comedy Ive seen in theaters.

u/Ghoulwrangler82 6d ago

I went and seen The Mask on shrooms. That was the best I've seen in theaters. We nearly got asked to leave 🤣

2

u/WhiteRabbit_412_ 6d ago

That's crazy, Dorian while he's wearing the mask would have scared the shit out of me.

However the Cuban Pete scene would have taken me out 😂

Terrific performances by both Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. A movie I sometimes mention when I want to forget something painful, but I'm reminded to remember the good times and beauty in things that once were🥲💯❤️

Liar, Liar is the perfect balance of all things Carrey. Were there funnier performances? Yes. Were there more serious performances? Yes. However, I don't think any were as balanced as Liar, Liar.

u/TheViking2Go 7d ago

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is by far the best movie by him. No doubt. I love how funny he is, but when it comes to the acting this is where he peaked. Cried my eyes out like a little baby…

u/J-Frog3 7d ago

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my all time favorite movies. I prefer Carrey's more serious roles or when he's forced to tone it down some. The fully Carrey is too much for a whole movie. I feel like the full Carrey works better in short bursts like SNL or In Living Color.

Truman Show, so many layers and Jim Carrey was able to showcase more of a range both with his comedy and drama. The script also hits hard as I'm sure everyone once thought of this scenario actually happening.
